Artist Comments

Smack-dab in the middle of the Burbank Oil Field is the town of Burbank, Oklahoma.   It it's hey day it hosted oilfield-bunks, saloons, brothels, a large population of workers.

 

Of course, during the first Oklahoma oil boom, there were big payrolls in town........        the bank was robbed so many times  they took to putting bullet-proof glass in the building.

 

This church is slowly sinking, no one goes here anymore, but I caught it with the afternoon light.
